Question

Is this possible? I know the code below looks a whole heap of mess but i want to make it more messy by embedding PHP into it. On each click i’m appending a row onto a table, but i need to include a dynamic dropdown into one of these <td>‘s by pulling results from a mysql db. Where it says this: <td><p class="add_edit">Add/Edit</p><input type="text" class="project_ref_input" name="project_ref_input" /><p class="project_ref"></p></td>
Instead of p tags i’m going to have a PHP built dropdown…how can i achieve this?

$('#items').append('<tr class="tableRow">
<td><a class="removeItem" href="#"><img src="/admin/images/delete.png"></img></a></td>
<td class="supp_short_code">' + supp_short_code_db + '</td>
<td class="om_part_no">' + omPartNo + '</td>
<td>' + supPartNo + '</td><td>' + cat + '</td>
<td class="description">' + desc + '</td>
<td>' + manuf + '</td>
<td>' + list + '</td>
<td>' + disc + '</td>
<td><p class="add_edit">Add/Edit</p><input type="text" class="quantity_input" name="quantity_input" /></td>
<td class="price_each_nett price">' + priceEach + '</td>
<td class="cost_of_items"></td>
<td><p class="add_edit">Add/Edit</p><input type="text" class="project_ref_input" name="project_ref_input" /><p class="project_ref"></p></td>
<td class="cost_total_td"></td>
</tr>');

Because Jquery is client side – you cant append PHP like you suggest.

You would have to write a PHP script that is triggered by a callback from Jquery, the PHP script would recieve some parameters, and return the HTML that would be needed to achieve your solution.

Does this help?
